If someone wants to step up and fund the center and its research, I'm sure PSU will listen. And I would never defend improper spending. You could cut a significant percentage of the administrative payroll without affecting the core mission one bit. You might even improve performance. Waste and entitlement naturally flow when administrators believe that the institution exists to serve them. But the same thing happens with certain faculty members who contribute nothing of value. Cut them all, get the finances in shape, and curtail or even cut tuition for those who can't afford it. PSU was a land grant institution that educated first-generation students from ag and blue-collar back grounds. They need to get that attitude back.
